Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Cheryl Marrow draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can clarify what they are feeling and what they want, which can be especially helpful during life transitions, stress, and identity-related concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to build coping skills for anxiety, anger, and day-to-day pressures, and to support healthier choices during periods of change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be useful when relationships feel intense or when coping strategies need strengthening.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cheryl collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the work accordingly as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility without sacrificing structure. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or choose live chat and text-based messaging for added convenience and continuity between sessions.
